Hive Parts

HIVES & SUPERS & FRAMES:
The hive consists of a bottom board, hive body, frames, foundation and cover. The frames with foundation are placed in the body for the bees to store honey, pollen and for the queen to lay eggs. Supers with frames and foundation are added for the bees to store surplus honey and pollen. The honey from the supers may be extracted from the frames or Comb honey which is honey left in the pure beeswax comb. Everything the beekeeper needs to build his beehive and start beekeeping today.
